Restoring Our 118-Year-Old Historic Building Into a Dream Home | DIY Renovation Journey
It all began in 2012 when I took on my very first DIY upholstery project—reupholstering my dining room chairs. Discovering the joy of transforming old furniture into something beautiful and functional sparked a deep passion for DIY home decor, furniture restoration, and creative living. That single project planted a seed that has grown into a 12-year journey of hands-on learning, home transformation, and sustainable living.
I’m excited to share my story with you in hopes that it inspires you to chase your own dreams, embrace the beauty of handmade living, and believe in what’s possible—no matter where you’re starting from.
